Besides, you do know that a critical aspect of good science is to be willing to falsify a theory right?

Infact, that is why I am even asking these questions, in the spirit of falsification. I genuinely want to know if you have any logical explanations, experiments, proofs, for this, and intend to very honestly consider it.

I don't "believe" in evolution, but rather, I think it is correct. There is a difference - I won't defend evolution in the face of strong evidence against it. A believer will defend it despite the strong evidence. "Strong evidence against it" does not mean pointing out the inability of the theory of evolution to explain every aspect of life down to the last detail. It means pointing out hard scientific facts that the theory of evolution predicts absolutely cannot occur. I agree with billevans - lets get to the point quickly. Do you know of any hard scientific facts that the theory of evolution predicts cannot occur? If not, then its value is based on its predictive ability, which is great, but not perfect. Pointing out its imperfections is a non-starter, unless you have a theory with greater explanatory power and predictive ability. Do you?

The fossil record is not inconsistent with evolution. It does not yield an airtight case in favor of evolution. The fact that it does not yield an airtight case in favor of evolution is not proof that evolution is wrong.

The "DNA mutation" explanation is not inconsistent with evolution. It does not yield an airtight case in favor of evolution. The fact that it does not yield an airtight case in favor of evolution is not proof that evolution is wrong.

I think evolution is correct because it provides a mechanism, a scientific explanation of so many things, far beyond any alternative. I don't know of any competing theory that comes close to the explanatory power of evolution, do you?

And yet you immediately refuse the fossils and DNA with no discussion or explanation whatsoever. Then don't be surprised that you're considered a priori as an denier/IDer.

What exactly isn't supported by the evidence? Neo-Darwinism encompasses multiple claims, and many people here could spend a long time explaining the evidence for each claim.

I'll try to make a good list of the claims, but I can't garuntee its accuracy.1) DNA is the mechanism of inheritance.2) Mutation is the source of genetic variation.3) Traits that aid reproduction (often by promoting survival) tend to increase in frequency.4) Traits that inhibit reproduction (often by preventing survival) tend to decrease in frequency.NOTE: The trait can aid/inhibit the net reproduction of the individuals possessing the trait (e.g. Kin Selection)5) The finch is a natural aphrodisiac.6) Over time, a species can diverge into multiple species.
